Karl William Teepe was born on September 24, 1943 in St. Louis, Missouri, the older of two sons of Ruth and the late Wilmer Teepe. He grew up in Jennings, Missouri and graduated from Riverview Gardens High School in Bellefontaine, where he was a member of the golf team. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1967 from the University of Illinois, and entered active duty as an air defense artillery Army officer. After just under two years on active duty, he left the service, but re-entered the Army in April 1971. He went on to serve with distinction for more than 20 additional years. He was a Reserve Officer Training Corps instructor at the University of Missouri in the mid 1970s, and received a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Missouri in 1975.

Karl is a graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and served in both Germany and South Korea. His military decorations include the Meritorious Service Medal with four Oak Leaf Clusters, the Army Commendation Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Bronze Service Star, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, and the Overseas Service Ribbon. He retired from the Army as a lieutenant colonel on September 1, 1991, with more than 22 years active duty. He immediately joined the Defense Intelligence Agency as a civilian financial resources manager in the Office of the Deputy Comptroller for Program and Budget.

Karl and his wife, Donna, were married on June 9, 1967. They have two children, Wendy and Adam, both of whom are graduates of the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. It was clear to anyone who knew Karl that his family was the most important thing in his life. Karl particularly enjoyed the Smithsonian Institution and other activities on the Mall in Washington, DC. He would take the Metro from the Pentagon to the Mall on his lunch break, just to get away and enjoy the beauty. He was always engaged in a variety of projects at home, anxious to share his progress with Wendy and her husband.

Mr. Teepe is survived by his wife, Donna; son, Adam; daughter, Wendy Green and her husband, Derek; his mother, Ruth; and brother, Kenneth, and his wife, Lynda.

Obituary: Bingham was charismatic, gifted athlete By Robert D. Dávila -- Bee Staff Writer Published 12:01 am PDT Saturday, July 8, 2006 Story appeared in Metro section, Page B5Robert "Bobby" Bingham escaped his adolescent insecurities by excelling in sports and joining the Army after graduating from Encina High School. He returned to Encina after the military as a basketball and football coach, earning a reputation as a tough but fair leader who pushed players to work hard and do their best. He also was a mentor and friend, offering a ride home, an ear to listen or a word of fatherly advice he never received after his parents divorced when he was 8 years old."His door was always open, and his phone number was always available," said Robert Bailey, a varsity football player who graduated from Encina in 1981. "I loved him as a coach and a friend."Mr. Bingham died June 28 at his Sacramento home after a 2 1/2-year battle with a rare type of testicular cancer, said his wife, Annette Henke Bingham. He was 49.Friends recalled a confident, charismatic man and gifted athlete who never lost his competitive edge, often beating younger players in pickup basketball contests. He was also a loving husband and father of two young children, a prolific poet who scribbled verses on scraps of paper and a caring teacher who encouraged young people to believe in themselves and succeed.He was an enthusiastic volunteer at Leonardo da Vinci School, working in the classroom and driving on field trips. But his favorite activity was "yard duty," where he jumped, ran and played games with dozens of adoring children at recess."Most of us moms would stand back keeping an eye on the playground, and he'd be out there in the middle of all the kids," school parent Diane Forrest said. "He was so enthusiastic and really interacted with the kids."Mr. Bingham was born in 1957 in Portland, Ore., and grew up in Carmichael. He never knew his biological father and rarely saw his adopted father after a divorce and military career took him away, his wife said.Troubled at home, he turned his energy to sports at Encina High School, where he excelled at baseball, basketball and football. He graduated in 1975 and joined the Army, serving three years and playing for his unit's basketball team in Germany.He returned to Encina High School as an assistant coach and head coach from1978 to 1989 before coaching at Rio Americano High School from 1990 to 1992. He was a mentor to all his students but reached out especially to boys without fathers."The things you miss as a child are often the things you strive for as an adult," said Greg Grant, a longtime friend. "Bob wanted to give young people something he didn't have."Meanwhile, Mr. Bingham attended California State University, Sacramento, where he earned a bachelor's degree in physical education and a master's degree in neuromuscular physiology. He worked as a Yolo County environmental health specialist until poor health led him to retire in 2004.He continued to volunteer at Leonardo da Vinci School while receiving chemotherapy for cancer. Although his body was weakened, his head was bald and he used a wheelchair, the children never saw him differently."They never looked sad or scared," his wife said. "He wasn't tragic to them, because he always gave them hope."Robert 'Bobby' BinghamBorn: March 8, 1957Died: June 28, 2006Remembered for: Coach and mentor at Encina High School and Rio Americano High School; active parent volunteer at Leonardo da Vinci School Survived by: Wife, Annette Henke Bingham of Sacramento; daughter, Gianna Bingham of Sacramento; son, Alec Bingham of Sacramento; mother, Audrey Mistretta of Sacramento; father, Chuck Bingham of Texas; sister, Debbie Bingham of Texas Memorial services: Celebration of life, 3 p.m. Sunday at Encina High School gym, 1400 Bell St., Sacramento; followed by reception at Turn Verein Hall,3349 J St., SacramentoRemembrances: In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Robert Bingham Memorial Fund, Golden 1 Credit Union, P.O.

Spc-4 Robert A Bhingham

Encina High School Teacher & Staff Obituaries

Robert Anthony BinghamRobert Anthony Bingham was a dynamic individual who cherished the spirit and hope of young people that eventually led him down a path of coaching high school sports, ensuring the health and safety of communities through environmental health, and raising a loving family. He left this world peacefully at home at the age of 49 on June 28th, 2006, in Sacramento, surrounded by his children, wife, and very close friends. Born in Portland, Oregon on March 8th, 1957, Robert grew up in Carmichael and attended Encina High School where he was active in basketball, football, and baseball. After high school, Robert served honorably in the US Army Nuclear Security program from 1975-1978 stationed in Germany. He also was a member of the Army Special Service basketball team. He later coached at Encina and Rio Americano High Schools from 1978-1990, successfully taking the Encina football team to the playoffs in 1985. Robert mentored many youth, inspiring them to reach beyond their goals and often acting as a surrogate father. It was no surprise that his energy and devotion led him to a second career in environmental health, where, through his dedication and drive, he crafted his own special masters degree in Neuromuscular Physiology at California State University at Sacramento, which he received in 1991. This then led him to the Yolo County Environmental Health Department, where he worked for many years. However, his most cherished accomplishment was his family, as husband to wife Annette and father to Alec and Gianna. Robert was a familiar face on the Leonardo da Vinci elementary school campus, volunteering in the classroom and driving on field trips. He coached his son?s Land Park Little League team and attended his daughter?s many dance performances. He is also survived by his mother Audrey Mistretta of Sacramento, sister Debbie Bingham, niece Cheyenne Bingham, and father Chuck Bingham, all of Texas. Robert?s devotion to family, friends, and community left an indelible mark for everyone who knew his laughter, caring demeanor, and hopeful vision of life. His family wishes to invite everyone to celebrate his life on Sunday July 9th, 3pm, at the Encina High School gym, 1400 Bell Street, Sacramento. A reception will immediately follow at the CSUS Alumni Center on the CSUS campus. Friends are invited to bring a ?story and song? to share as we remember Robert through his love of music.

he was drunk and ran his sporty into the bridge support, solid pillars. Killed him instantly. I remember him well. He used to hang out with that feller who worked in the motor pool and had the big firebird. You and him got into it more than once :)

I have been riding since i was 14 and one thing has saved me all these years! COMMON SENSE!!I laid down two big bikes, over 700 pounds each and walked away. Stayed on top of the bike and kept the wheels from touching the road while sliding across the road :P

He was parting at my place in Schweppenhausen. We took his keys and hid them in the kitchen. A bunch of us walked down to the local guesthouse and started a party. Later on a guy from a nearby town need someone to follow him home . The headlight was out on his moped. Tim Likehart a visiting friend of Mike Bloom and Bingham got the key and they took off.Pat ran off the road into a field. hit his head on a rock busted the helm

et. Tim's leg was broken. He was in the hospital a few months .We took the sporty to the motor pool. Later it was shipped to Mass

Yeah, I can believe that. He probably married her on a whim.He definitely was character. He hung with us sometimes but a lot of times we try to ditch him because he'd be a pain in the butt. He definitely needed some growing up to do. He was a good guy when he wasn't acting the goof.

Ha, Ha, We all had longer hair. We looked like the guys in the movie Stripes. I guess they cut us slack because where we were stationed nobody knew about us & we liked it that way.We partied a lot & we weren't spiit shined but we always got the job done. Sorry but I didn't know his middle name Connie.I'm guessing his age would be close to 51 or 52.

Tom I have some less then pleasant news about Jim. Kerstin just messaged me and told me she found out that Jim passed away in 1986. She found Jim's father on FB and he told her. His name on FB is Jimmy Ray Montgomery. You can look for him and send him a message.
